first test drive of project torque video

[BranndonC]

so the brake light switch was sticking out too far and holding the pedal down some, i knew the brakes were on somehow but couldnt figure out why, so my performance wasnt what i was hoping for

brakes worked awesome

accelerated a little slower than i wanted, but the brakes were partially on, enough to slow me down kinda quick when i let off the gas.

so heres the video rundown
step on it
slam on brakes
steering goes out but i dont know it
step on it and try and turn left
slam on brakes and wave friend over
steering shaft came off of box, loose nuts i guess

You gotta find a local 1/4 mile track and see what that sucka can do...well...as soon as you can go 50ft without somthing falling off that is.

painless wiring or 12voltguy? Really making me think I should ditch my console and factory wiring in favor of that setup. Was considering cutting the hole in the floor today too(trying to put a tranny in a V8 S10 with the engine moved back is NO fun)

 

[BranndonC]

windshield, speedo, mirrors for legal
extras
shocks, anti wrap, paint, radio, dash, roll cage, new seats, 5 point belts, narrow front, boat side, put tail lights into tail gate, patch light holes... more that i'm forgetting
